<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Hi List,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I had asked the question, of best way to copy a
bass bridge.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I got some good answers.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>However, I decided on an approach not
mentioned.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I had been wondering how to match the difference
of 1/8" from bass to treble, and someone mentioned not to forget the possible
difference from top to bottom.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Well, what I did, was get a piece of scrap wood,
and using double sided tape, attach it to the old bridge, making sure it was
flat. Meaning wood splinters and glue sticking up,
removed.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I then ran it through the planer, ending up with a
reverse of the old bridge.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I then taped it to my new piece of wood, and ran
it through the planer.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I ended up with an exact replica of the old
bridge. (As close as I can tell) No guessing involved.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I figure, for me it was easier than sawing, or
sanding.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Let me know, what you think.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
